Daltonganj, Jan 21: One may have heard of juice and sweets being offered to blood donors but in Palamu, apples were offered to those who took the Covid vaccine.  This was done at Chiyanki health center which is a tribal hub and is seen as the corridor of the workers.

An NGO called Action Aid Association India (Action Aid) on Thursday distributed apples among the eligible 15+ and 18+ plus for their vaccination.

Palamu civil surgeon Dr Anil Kumar said this NGO distributed 100 apples among 100 beneficiaries ( one apple for one jab). He said it was a very delightful thing where beneficiaries held an apple in one hand and a vaccination card in the other.

“Our health office provided 100 doses of the vaccine here in time and the NGO Action Aid had done a smart arrangement for it, ” the CS said.

The eligibles who got the jab today came from the lower strata of the society and are artisans of varied nature.

Action Aid has assured to give oxygen concentrators also to the district dedicated covid care hub here.

“This NGO had helped us in the second wave in a big way and this time too this NGO has assured us to give us three dozen of the oxygen concentrators for the covid care center, ” the CS added.

However, sources said the vaccination of the 15+ eligible in Palamu is in a very poor form with an average 1,800 vaccination a day when the projected population of the teens of this group 15+ has been estimated to be little over one lakh forty thousand.

A ‘vaccine fatigue’ has gripped the medical staff because of the monotony and everyday task which is often unrealistic to achieve.

Sources said has Palamu not been asked to perform more than 25,000 vaccinations a day which by all accounts is a sky touching task which can be looked at with a sense of never reaching it any near even as Palamu has never crossed 13,000 vaccinations on any day since January 16,2021 the vaccination was launched nationwide.

Civil surgeon Dr Anil Kumar on this said:  “we need to ‘comb’ rag pickers, coal pickers across the railway lines,  young workers in hotels and restaurants, domestic help etc for the vaccination.”
